Honey Moon ~ ‘Yours, Girl’

Jangle-pop four-piece Honey Moon unveil yearning new single Yours, Girl and announce forthcoming EP Four More From… released via Manchester tastemaker label Heist or Hit (Her’s, Pizzagirl) on 21^st September.
You can practically hear the seagulls, smell the vinegar and taste the salty sea air as Jack Slater Chandler’s wistful vocals, alternating between tender croon and heartfelt falsetto, deliver a paean to an uncertain love against a seaside scene. Shimmering guitars back it up throughout, lackadaisical strums teasing out a languid groove.
Elaborating on how the band captured these themes and sounds in a bottle, Slater Chandler says: “‘Yours, Girl’ is probably the most direct and heartfelt part of the EP; it shoots straight down the ballad barrel. The recording is intentionally quite clean and simple – no flashy production tricks, no crazy effects, just one single unadulterated slice of dreamy seaside pop. One for the lovers”
A charming simplicity akin to the nostalgic appeal of seaside resorts from a bygone era – Honey Moon seem to have a knack for capturing this aesthetic with ease.
It’s escapist croon-pop looking back at 50s/60s doo-wop and the birth of Pop in Britain and America with rose tinted glasses. Whether or not the innocence of these ‘simpler times’ truly existed is beside the point, the idealised memory is enough to run counter to the modern day problems facing this generation up close and personal.
In this vein, there’s no lofty message nailed on through their music, merely reclamation of ‘the love song’ – technically proficient and lovingly toiled over, but delivered in simple terms.
Strutting around the gig venues of London town for a little while now, Honey Moon have built up worthy buzz followed by invites to perform at Glastonbury Festival and supports with Trudy and The Romance, Fake Laugh and GURR, which has cemented their status as exciting up-and-comers. They’ll furthermore be joining label mates Her’s for a few dates on their upcoming tour, following an EP release celebration at The Waiting Room in London on the 27^th of September.
Honey Moon are… on the drums, Sam Roux, on the bass and vocals Joey Julliard, on lead guitar and vocals Zach Urch, and on guitar and lead vocals Jack Slater Chandler.
Yours, Girl is taken from forthcoming new EP Four More From… (21^st Sept), and was produced by Alex Greaves at The Nave studios in Leeds. It is out on August 14^th via Heist or Hit (Her’s, Pizzagirl).
